The fight scene
A nearly six-minute sequence in which the protagonists brawl in an alley has made appearances on all-time lists for best fight scenes."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/They_Live

Nada retrieves a box from a church and takes a pair of sunglasses from it, hiding the rest of the glasses in a trash can in an alleyway. Nada discovers that the sunglasses make the world appear monochrome, but also reveal subliminal messages in the media to consume, reproduce, and conform. The glasses also reveal that many people are actually aliens with skull-like faces.

The next day, Nada returns to the alleyway and retrieves the other sunglasses from a garbage truck before Frank meets Nada to give him his pay-check.

Nada tries to get Frank to put on one of the glasses, but Frank wants nothing to do with him. Frank and Nada get into a long and violent brawl, after which Frank is too tired to prevent Nada from putting the sunglasses on him. After seeing the aliens, Frank goes into hiding with Nada.
When he puts on the glasses, he says people that look like they're dead.

The world is run by dead beings, who hate life and God, and people that practise necromancy.

So what does that say about the vast majority of humanity who haven't got a clue that is even the case?

Are the dead ruling the dead?

The Simpsons Movie (2007)

The Simpsons Movie

A triple bill!
.
My name's Russ Cargill and I'm head of the Environmental Protection Agency.

Look I'm a man on a big TV. Just listen!

Springfield has become the most polluted city in the history of the planet.

To prevent your poison from spreading, your government has sealed you all within this dome.

.
.
Within 93 days, Springfield completely exhausts its daily supplies and the townspeople lose their sanity while trying to escape from the dome.

.
.
.
In response Springfield's environmental pollution crisis, the president had ordered the federals to imprison Springfield under a giant glass dome. Homer has had an epiphany about saving the town to save himself. He returns to Springfield and learns about his family's capture as a helicopter lowers a time bomb suspended by a rope through a hole at the top of the dome. Homer enters the dome and descends the rope, knocking the escaping townspeople and the bomb off, inadvertently shortening its countdown.

The Doctor Who - Genesis of the Daleks (1975)

Post by Robo »

The Doctor Who - Genesis of the Daleks

The Doctor and Davros express their moral differences.

Davros, if you had created a virus in your laboratory, something contagious and infectious that killed on contact, a virus that would destroy all other forms of life, would you allow its use?

Through the threat of torturing Sarah and Harry, Davros has managed to coerce the Doctor into revealing how the Daleks will be defeated in future battles. Davros is pleased and now wants to have a more civil conversation with the Doctor, alone, "not as prisoner and captor, but as men of science"

Davros:
Now, future errors will be eradicated. Defeats will become victories. You have changed the future of the universe, Doctor.

Doctor Who:
I have betrayed the future. Davros, for the last time, consider what you're doing. Stop the development of the Daleks.

Davros:
Impossible. It is beyond my control. The workshops are already fully automated to produce the Dalek machines.

Doctor Who:
It's not the machines, it's the minds of the creatures inside them. Minds that you created. They are totally evil.

Davros:
Evil? No. No, I will not accept that. They are conditioned simply to survive. They can survive only by becoming the dominant species. When all other life forms are suppressed, when the Daleks are the supreme rulers of the universe, then you will have peace. Wars will end. They are the power not of evil, but of good.

Doctor Who:
Davros, if you had created a virus in your laboratory, something contagious and infectious that killed on contact, a virus that would destroy all other forms of life, would you allow its use?

Davros:
It is an interesting conjecture.

Doctor Who:
Would you do it?

Davros:
The only living thing, a microscopic organism reigning supreme... A fascinating idea.

Doctor Who:
But would you do it?

Davros:
Yes... Yes... (raises his hand as if holding the metaphorical capsule) To hold in my hand a capsule that contains such power, to know that life and death on such a scale was my choice... To know that the tiny pressure of my thumb, enough to break the glass, would end everything... Yes, I would do it! That power would set me up above the gods! AND THROUGH THE DALEKS, I SHALL HAVE THAT POWER!
